UPDATE: The swimming advisory has been lifted for King Lincoln Park Beach in Newport News, according to a Peninsula Health District news release.

The district said it received results from re-sampling completed on Thursday. The results indicate that bacteria levels in the water at Hilton Park public beach meet the state water quality standards for recreational waters, according to the release.

UPDATE: The entire Virginia Beach oceanfront has been cleared for swimming and wading by the Virginia Beach Department of Public Health, according to a city news release.

The Peninsula Health District has lifted a swimming advisory at Yorktown Beach after receiving results from water tested Wednesday that indicate that bacteria levels there are within state-recommended levels, officials said.

Health department officials still have an advisory in effect for King Lincoln Park Beach in Newport News, according to a release.

A swimming and wading advisory for Virginia Beach along part of the Oceanfront remains in effect, prohibiting those activities until further notice after water samples collected at those beaches showed bacteria levels higher than state water standards, officials with the city's health department said.

An earlier advisory in Virginia Beach extended all the way from 22nd Street to 70th Street. It has been revised to only cover the area between 22nd and 37th streets.

Officials check the water for indicator organisms such as enterococcus, which are used to determine the extent of fecal contamination in recreational waters.

While the organisms do not cause disease, they tend to be correlated with the presence of other disease-causing organisms, according to releases about the advisories.
